Do you have some sort of playlist/media downloading add-on enabled on Firefox? Because that is what the extension listed is for.

I'm using Firefox as well and don't get that, the next thing I would look at is a possible malware infection.

Edit: changed extension to add-on. I've got chrome on the brain at the moment.

Actually, it just did it again as I was scrolling through All...anytime this post about the debris field near the titanic loads, it downloads the file. I'll search through my firefox settings and see what I can see.

That is very strange, does explain why I'm not seeing this issue though. I have most of the us/generic news magazines blocked.

I'm not a kbin developer or web developer, but this issue has my curiosity piqued.

Do you get it when you go to the CBS news site for the story itself? Maybe it's something to do with the instance itself or a bug in the link?

I haven’t tried going directly to the site, you’re right it may have something to do with the CBS link trying to load the preview on Kbin. Seeing as it doesn’t actually display anything that’s a good hunch. Unfortunately I’m going to be away from the computer until tomorrow, and I’m not having an issue with it on mobile. I’ll save that post and try then.

I know you said you’re not a developer, but do you know how to get notifications for these replies? I have them checked in settings, but they don’t seem to be functioning. I just keep coming back to this post to see if there are any other comments.
